Crisp clove buds – forest garden harvest
Clove is a peculiar flower that grows on tall trees of up to 10 meters. Mill & Mortal cloves come from a village cooperative called Pilimathalawa in Sri Lanka, where the harvest takes place over several days as the buds need to be picked at the right time. Fresh and good quality cloves can be distinguished by their porous light brown buttons that join the dark stalk.

The East’s response to poppy seeds
Nigella is used as both spice and garnish in Indian and Middle East cuisine. The flavour is mildly aromatic, and when cooked (roasted, baked or fried) emanates notes of oregano and a light, peppery bitterness, a bit like bread crust.
In the European world, Nigella seeds are being increasingly used in seed bread, vegetable, fish and lamb dishes. Nigella seeds originally come from India and are used in many of their most popular dishes, either as sprinkles on flatbread, and vegetable and meat curries.
